Remove all HTMLtags in a string (with the jquery text() function)

Question

is it possible to use the jquery text() function to remove all HTML in a string?

String with HTML tags:
myContent = \'

Answer 1

Could you not just try it?

myContent = '
Hello world!
';
console.log($(myContent).text()); //Prints "Hello world!"

Note that you need to wrap the string in a jQuery object, otherwise it won't have a text method obviously.
